Blue Ribbon in Arlington, MA if I'm anywhere north of Tennessee. Otherwise, I just can't pick.
But I LOVED both Kreuz Market and the Salt Lick. Mmmmm

I grew up in North Carolina and by far my favorite was Troutman's Barbecue in Denton, NC for the perfect chopped plate. When I moved to Huntsville, AL, I became a Big Bob Gibson's fan - but it's apples and oranges as far as styles go.

Fette Sau in Brooklyn, mostly for the atmosphere.

Daisy May's; R.U.B. a close second.

I love Ubon's in Yazoo City, MS. They smoke everything beautifully and my mouth is watering just thinking about the food and hospitality they serve up. You cant go wrong with them!
Ubon's also knows exactly how to make PERFECT fried catfish!
In NYC I just cant seem to get myself away from Virgil's...

Daisy May's BBQ is the best I've found in NYC. Although the pulled pork was delicious, the highly questionable political views disseminated at Maurice's BBQ in Columbia, SC didn't go down as easily.

i love the selection of bbq at Blue Smoke....as well as the strong cocktails that allow so much more food to go down. YUM!

As a barbecue aficionado, some of the best ribs that I've ever tasted can be found at Uncle Pete's in Boston. It takes Pete two - three days to prepare a rack of ribs. This a guy that is obsessed with ribs, and the taste reflects his devotion - the best I've had!

Hand down RUB in New York City. For a kind of fancy chain experince Houston's is the way to go.

Gonna have to pick Payne's, in Memphis, TN for this one. The Rendez-Vous is too huge and impersonal, and while I love Neely's in a pinch, Payne's reigns supreme for me in Bluff City. Their pulled pork sandwich (about $3.50) hand-chopped to order by a grandmother who has clearly worked there forever is just about the tastiest thing you can eat in Memphis. The location--the space used to be a gas station and garage--and lack of utensils (save sporks) just adds to the draw of Payne's smoky, moist meat with just a hint of sweetness. Sigh.
PS: Be warned, as the sandwiches do come with cole slaw on top, and that's not to everyone's liking.

My mom is from northern Alabama, where I spend many summers with my grandparents. They lived very close to to Big Bob's in Decatur, but I'll always claim that nearby Whitt's pulled pork with vinegar sauce and slaw is the best. Very similar in style to what Chris Lilly does, but it's missing one crucial element: childhood memories.
Barbecue is one of those foods that sometimes requires such memories. Like mom's pies or grandma's biscuits, there may be better tasting food out there, but we're always fondest of the food we have the fondest memories of eating.

Smoke Joint, Brooklyn. They have really great pork and beef ribs and their Tips n' Bits are a great To-Go item because you can pack it up in a roll and bring it to work the next day for lunch. They're delicious in a cold sandwich. Don't forget their coleslaw -- they've got a vinegar or mayo based one. Same for the sauce, you can go vinegar-based or dark and sweet.

Gotta go with Bailey's Blauvelt Smokehouse in Blauvelt, NY. The brisket there is a work of art. I've been dreaming about Fink's BarbeReuben and BarbeCuban ever since I first went there.

Well, back about 30 or 40 years ago, when I lived in Memphis, I used to go to the Rendezvous with the owner's son, who was in my high school class. We'd sit at the bar (being several years underage) and he would ply us with samples while we two teenagers consumed with robust delight.
But--- and I say this with all due respect-- my favorite BBQ ever was from any of the now defunct Memphis chain that served pulled pork sandwiches and had a handful of outlets around the city, places like Loeb's, Pig 'n Whistle, Topp's-- all great, all cheap, all only five to ten minutes away.
Several times a month we'd consume mounds of smoked pork on the requisite five inch bun, redolent in hickory aroma, squirted with a few extra doses of runny sauce (not the thick gunk sold in groceries) and always topped by a dollop of a mustardy cole slaw. And held together (briefly) by a toothpick.
Little did I know that this sort of heaven was not available everywhere. Done in by Mickey D, Booger King, etc. and rising real estate costs.

am I allowed to have many favorite places? I liked red bones in boston, enjoyed dinosaur bbq in harlem very much the three or four times I've been. blue smoke was very very good. And I LOVED the brisket from Salt Lick at the bbq block party a couple years ago. I would say that was my favorite, but I've never been to the actual joint in person, they brought the joint to me. And i was impressed.
